A secret network of “commandos” is helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine/The New YorkTimes

A secret network of “commandos” from the US and other NATO countries is helping the Ukrainian military to fight the Russian occupiers. They oversee the provision of weapons, collect intelligence and train defenders.

The ability of Ukraine to destroy the Russian occupiers depends on the help of world countries. In particular, the help of a hidden network of foreign commandos and spies.

A secret network of “commandos” from the United States and allies helps the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fight

According to American and European officials, the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the war against the Russian occupiers are assisted by a secret network of “commandos” from the United States and other countries. Special forces officers help control the provision of weapons, intelligence and train the Ukrainian military.

Most of this work takes place outside of Ukraine, including at army bases in Germany, France and the UK. The Biden administration said they would not send their military into Ukraine, but some CIA officials continued to covertly work in Kyiv, channeling intelligence transmitted by the United States.

At the same time, several dozen special forces from other NATO countries, in particular from the UK, France, Canada and Lithuania, are also working in Ukraine. The US withdrew 150 of its military instructors before the outbreak of a full-scale war, but the Allied commandos either remained or left the country after the invasion.

They train and advise Ukrainian troops on organizing a land channel for transporting weapons and other assistance. The commandos are also advising Ukrainian headquarters in other parts of the country via encrypted communication channels.

We will discuss the issue of holding the Forum of Regions. I think that we, as usual, will participate in it in the form of a videoconference. Let's turn. This forum is held by parliamentarians – the upper houses of parliaments in our country and in Russia. They are well organized and will hold a very good forum in Grodno,” Lukashenka said.

It is worth recalling that this trip was already announced in the Kremlin earlier. In particular, on June 20, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced that Putin would arrive in Belarusian Grodno on June 30.

Latest news about the meeting between Putin and Lukashenko

• Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko met in Russia. On the night of June 25, Lukashenko arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia.
• During this meeting, Putin and Lukashenko, among other things, discussed “ensuring world security” through the possibility of providing Belarus with nuclear weapons. Putin promised to help Lukashenka with nuclear weapons. In particular, to provide a batch of Iskander-M complexes, which can launch both conventional missiles and use nuclear weapons. However, the potential possibility of such a decision was discussed.
• In addition, at this meeting, Putin promised to inform Lukashenka about the war in Ukraine. He also said that there are problems. Nevertheless, they are connected with “ensuring security in the region and the world as a whole.”
• In addition, Lukashenka called Kaliningrad's isolation by Lithuania a virtual declaration of war. Lithuania decided to stop the transit of Russian goods that fell under EU sanctions, so they will be partially banned by the railway to Kaliningrad and the region.

Nauseda said that Lithuania will not make concessions to Russia/Gitanos Nuaseda

Lithuania has restricted trains with Russian sanctioned goods, so the aggressor country began to threaten it. President Gitanas Nauseda said there would be no concessions.

Nauseda noted that on June 24, the historic Council of European Leaders ended in Brussels, where Ukraine and Moldova were granted the status of candidates for the EU. According to him, this is a huge achievement not only for Ukraine and Moldova, but also for Lithuanian diplomacy. After all, every day Lithuania was the voice of both countries in the European Union, tirelessly defending their right to decide their own future.

Restrictions on transit to Kaliningrad are spelled out in the sanctions against Russia

Nauseda said that together with the leaders of the Baltic States, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Bulgaria, on February 28, on the fifth day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he applied to the EU with a request to grant candidate status to our state.

“In 4 months, this vision turned into reality. We succeeded because we all worked together here in Lithuania, in Brussels, in the capitals of European countries,” the President of Lithuania said.

He added that, rejoicing at the successes of Ukraine and Moldova, it was very restless to observe what was happening in Vilnius in recent days – hot discussions about Kaliningrad erupted in the socio-political space.

“The topic is not new – Kaliningrad transit has been operating since 2004, when Lithuania joined the European Union. Transit conditions are discussed in the EU-Russia agreement, the EU is not unilaterally responsible for their implementation,” Nauseda said.

He stressed that the European Union approved the fourth package of sanctions against Russia, containing restrictions on a certain group of goods, including steel, ferrous metals and luxury goods. Then the question arose of what sanctions Lithuania should apply in case of transit from and to Kaliningrad. Nauseda discussed this with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.

It is clear that Lithuania must and will continue to impose EU sanctions. Lithuania must maintain and maintain control over the goods transported through its territory, and there can be no talk of any “corridors”, as well as opinions about the humiliation of Russia in response to the Kremlin's threats, Nauseda stressed.

He noted that he clearly explained to the President of the European Commission how Lithuania sees this situation.

“The government must urgently start consultations with the European Commission so that the imposition of sanctions does not harm Lithuania's interests or international agreements. Only by acting together will we achieve that the sanctions are painful for the aggressor country,” the President of Lithuania summed up.

Briefly on the “blockade of Kaliningrad”

• Restrictions on the import and transit of Russian steel and other ferrous metal products to the European Union began to operate on June 17.
• Governor of the Kaliningrad region of Russia Anton Alikhanov the next day said that Lithuania had stopped letting transit trains with goods subject to EU sanctions.
• The Russian Foreign Ministry called Lithuania's actions a violation of international legal obligations. Therefore, the ministry even summoned the head of the country's embassy in Moscow.
• Lithuania responded to Russia's threats because of the “siege of Kaliningrad”. The Foreign Ministry stressed that they only comply with the sanctions imposed by the EU.
• In turn, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry came to the defense of Lithuanian friends. Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that Russia itself is to blame for the consequences of the invasion of Ukraine.

APU struck with HIMARS at the occupiers in Donbas/Collage of Channel 24

The Armed Forces of Ukraine powerfully hit the invaders with American HIMARS systems. Only one accurate aiming was enough to eliminate several enemy officers, as well as a lot of Russian equipment.

The blow was struck at the enemy command post in the Donbass. Own sources in intelligence provided 24 channels not only with details of the consequences, but also with an exclusive video from the attacked place. the Russians cynically set up a checkpoint in one of the schools in the occupied territory. Fortunately, there was no one there except the occupiers, because nothing interfered with our gunners.

It was the base point of the 20th Army of the Russian Armed Forces. Intelligence established that the military unit of the city of Voronezh No. 89425 was defeated. It is known that among the destroyed there were many officers, but the exact number is still being established.

As for equipment, quite a lot of it was destroyed there. Recording after the attack shows that there was a cluster of about 20 units of various military vehicles: from fuel trucks to armored personnel carriers. In addition, there were also civilian off-road vehicles converted by the occupiers.

But there were also military SUVs. In particular, the video shows the elite Russian “Tigers”, which will definitely not start up again and will not be able to harm Ukraine.

Soon more such MLRS will arrive in Ukraine

When it became known that our army will be provided with HIMARS, the Russians literally began to panic. Their propaganda then said that it was bad weapons, then began to talk about the threat to the territory of Russia. The occupiers are actually afraid because these systems are universal. There are two types of operation of installations:

• shelling an area with conventional projectiles at a distance of 70 km;
• launching a rocket at a distance of up to 300 km.

Now only a few units of such equipment have arrived in Ukraine. This happened immediately after a group of artillerymen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine received training from the United States and other partners.

And already on June 23, the United States announced another package of military assistance to Ukraine for 450 million dollars. In particular, it provides for a larger number of such rocket launchers and tens of thousands of ammunition.
